70cl | 45% abv
Don Amado Mezcal Reposado - An homage to the popular history of Oaxacan clay-pot mezcal aged in brandy barrels, Don Amado Reposado uses exhausted brandy barrels from Pedro Domecq to create a nostalgic flavor of earthen-smoked maguey with the soft caramel and butterscotch notes of American white oak.
Familiar Mexican flavors of roasted corn slathered in butter, hints of vanilla and cinnamon, tropical fruit and dried chilies are balanced with a moderate amount of smoke leading into barrel notes of a satisfying, slightly spicy vanilla-driven extended finish.
Aroma: Roasted corn, butter, vanilla, cinnamon, tropical fruit, dried chilies
Palate: Caramel, white pepper, vanilla, moderate smoke
Finish: Spicy vanilla-driven extended finish.
